I do not know. The touch screen did not work, so I returned it. Have a good day.

Yes, it will play sound from devices equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack as well as bluetooth devices. For the money, it is a nice speaker.

I've never downloaded audiobooks before, but I think it should work. It is a regular ipod, if you can download it you can play it.

Most any MP3 player will work for books. A couple of things you may want to consider --- Where do you plan on downloading your books from? Many libraries have services where you can "check out" downloadable media and listen to books for free. Unfortunately, most of these services DON'T work with Ipods or Zunes. If you plan on using one of these services, check their website for compatibility. I also primarily listen to books on my MP3 player. I had an Ipod Nano (my daughter accidentally lost it!) and it was my favorite. I really miss it and keep trying to convince myself to splurge and buy another. My son has a Creative Zen and it also works well for audiobooks. Some of the lower end, cheaper units are designed primarily for music. With these, it's hard to access a specific track. So, for instance if you're on chapter 20 of a book and accidentally lose your place, then you have to "click" through 20 chapters to get back to where you were. On the better units like the Ipods and the Zen, you can go right to it. (for instance, sometimes I forget to turn the player off when I turn the car off and it's hours ahed of me) If you ever listen to more than one book at a time, make sure it has a bookmark feature. Otherwise you'll lose your place in book 1 when you switch to book 2 and back.

I'm sorry I've not figured that out either. I bought it for my Mother to listen to audio books but it just didn't work fot that purpose. Was very disappointed.

I have one and would not recomend it for audiobooks. The controls are poorly designed and it's impossible to fast foward and rewind in the same track.

I often listen to my iPhone play audiobooks while it is connected and charging. Ditto with reading Kindle books on my iPad. I would THINK it would work for you.

It should but it also depends on your OS configuration, before you buy anything check your headphone/speakers configuration on your OS!

Yes it will. Just remember, you may have to go to sound settings and change from internal speakers to your external device. Very happy with mine.

Yes, it will play .wav files from either the internal storage or the microsd card.

Yes, you can download and listen to audio books if they are in a digital format such as mp3, wma, wav, audible, etc.

Yes you can listen to audio books. I would suggest making it a playlist so you can find it if you have other play lists loaded.

I'm not sure. It plays CDs with hundreds of MP3 sound files. It won't play a DVD with MP3 files. Actual audio books say nonfiction works read by a narrator that are 25 hours in length, made professionally should play on this machine.
